Hi Alan,

--as-needed is really a different case, and I don't see why we
shouldn't do as you are asking.  I've said as much before,
http://www.sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2006-06/msg00017.html,
and a google search turns up at least one bug report about this.

Any dissenting opinions on this issue?

Not from me. In fact I think that you should go ahead with your proposed change.

Cheers
  Nick
